I am looking for a house right now.  How does one deal with that kind of investment and commitment.  Surely after the first time it is easier, I mean, this guy has three right now.  I am really tired of living in an apartment and can't justify renting a house for the same price that a monthly mortgage payment would cost me.
The other problem I am seeing is that the price of housing in Midland is really high compared to a year or two ago, as far as I can tell almost double.
Does the pressure of spending that much money lessen after the purchase is made?
